TiVo said the app will be available for free from the Apple iTunes App store “in the coming weeks.”

It’s part of TiVo’s efforts to reel in new customers. The company for a limited time is giving away a Premiere DVR for “free” if users sign a two-year contract for $19.99 per month (the regular subscription fee is $12.95). With a one-year commitment at $19.99 per month, the Premiere is $99.99 and the Premiere XL with 1 Terabyte of storage is $299.99.
